Overview

Empirical study reveals that August 27 maximizes watermelon yield in Calabar, suggesting optimal varieties.

Key Points

  • Watermelon planted on August 27 yielded significantly more fruit than those planted on August 7 and September 16.
  • The top performer, Heracles, produced the highest yield, followed by Koloss, Kaolack, and Sugar Baby.
  • Experimental analysis used a randomized complete block design with split-plots to assess growth and yield.
  • The study supports effective watermelon cultivation by identifying best planting practices and varieties.
